News-Times .111 I HIRST VOL XXIV, NUMBER 14 AMHERST, OHIO, FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1942 SANDSTONE CENTER OF THE WORLD 1 0 3 "Burn Grass" Is Chiefs Warning "Burn grass and weeds within 15 to 20 feet of your house or garage. While burning, have your garden hose ready, and if an old broom is available, have it handy also." . That is the advice of Chief A. G. Stiwald to residents of the village and the parts of Amherst and Brownhelm townships served by the Amherst fire department. Grass fires are easily ignited at this time of the year, said the Chief. Grass and weeds have died during the winter, and are dried out thoroughly. Small sparks and cigarette butts easily start fires that may get out of control unless closely watched. The Chief said it would be far better to set the weeds afire while the owner is there to watch and control the flames, than to run the risk of a fire starting when no one is around to prevent it getting out of control and endangering nearby buildings. "It's a good way to keep down your fire department costs," the Chief said. Each fire to which the firemen respond costs the ' village one dollar per man, plus an extra dollar for each hour after the first hour that the men remain on duty. Ten to 12 men respond to every call with the cost of the alarm ranging from $10 upward depending upon the number of men and length of time required to put out the fire. Hard To Get Tires For War Workers Certificates issued for new tires, tubes and recaps since the last issue of the News-Times: Andy Fritsch, farmer, R.

One car ownership transferred due to the induction into military service: Richard Alex Win-son to his sister, Ethel Winson, Plymouth '42 sedan. The April quota has been announced by Stanley Hull, member of the board and it is 5 passenger car tires; 19 passenger car tubes; 14 truck tires; 13 truck tubes; 33 recaps for passenger cars and 12 recaps for trucks. "You will notice that we gave out a great many more tires and tubes this Week than usual, the answer is that we cannot carry over the quota from one month to another. Of course all applicants must be eligible and show cause for getting new tires, new tubes or recaps," said the board members. "Our latest Instructions from Washington In regard to defense workers getting recaps are very stringent. The following questions must be answered: ' 1. Is your work vital to the community and for war effort? Does the plant employing you make a vital contribution to the nation and war effort and how valuable are you to the continual operation of the plant? . 2. Are there other adequate means of transportation available: (Adequate not convenient). 3. Is the car to be used principally for the purpose described or only incidentally? What proof have you to this effect? 4. Have you made an effort to "double up" with someone else? Do you take other workers with you? 5. Is your need for tires of sufficient Importance to community and war effort to merit issuing tires at the possible sacrifice of other vehicles more essential to the community or war effort. "Now all we ask is that you be a good patriotic citizen, In other words, "DON'T CHISEL.

Nevertheless, the sAmherst people will crowd into their churches this Easter morn and will bow their head in prayers of love and faith and praise to their Divine Saviour who unceasingly bore the cruel tortures which led up to his Resurrection.

Police, Firemen Are Being Sought Amherst needs more auxiliary firemen and auxiliary police for civilian defense. The auxiliary police have already held one meeting and other meetings are scheduled for each week until the course is completed. The auxiliary firemen are now being organized and their special train ing course will get under way soon. Both auxiliary police and firemen are essential civilian defense workers, and full crews are needed in both organizations. The duties of the auxiliary piilice include the patrol of devested areas, the protection of civilians, guarding of bridges, factories are other key defense places, the prevention of sabotage, and traffic duty. Auxiliary firemen will be given special schooling in extinguishing bomb fires of all kinds, and generally assisting the regularly established fire department.Both these organizations are essential to the proper protection iof life and property In war time, and the manual of instruction that each will be given is the cgular manual issued by Civil ian Jjeicnse neaaquuneis in Washington. Men wishing to join the auxil iary police should contact Chief Earl White, or Patrolmen Ed Mays or Earl Rockwood, all three of whom have taken the course prescribed by the FBI, and will be in charge of the school. Those desiring to become the auxiliary firemen should attend a meeting at the fire department tonight, (Thursday) or contact any offi cer of the department. It was announced this week that the Local Draft Board No. 4 desires to contact at once any of its registrants who wish to volunteer immediately.' Call at the office of the board in Oberlin in person. The Laymen's Fellowship so ciety of the Congregational church will meet Friday evening at 6:30. An Easter Message from El Camino Real By Mrs. F. R. Powers Around the bend in the road the ancient walls of Mission San Gabriel arose in simple majesty, looking rain-swept and golden hearted ln the bright, clean air of the late winter afternoon. To the left the Madre Grapevine stretched Itself and brooded behind locked gates, and a thousand memories whispered together in the silent rooms of the low adobe house that had onct been the dwelling place ot Ramona's mother. Probably no one of the twenty-odd Missions that flower along a twentieth century Camino Real is better known the country over than San Gabriel Archangel. Hemmed In by the empty rau-cousness and selfish unconcefw of modern civilization the ii Mission still clutches to its hefrf,t:Ufi'OaK'',rl Drigm visions oi ine iaeai-mNkni ' -r JiuM riw prompted Its creation; me15TBfjSrju -ii of toil and suffering and pattancti oftimes frayed to a single tliread, Public Send-Off Planned For All army with no public ovation of any kind. The thought of a local public send-off originated with the Amherst Eagles, but all organi- est to leave so far. The exact number was not disclosed by the j Oberlin Draft Board, but notices will be mailed to draft rs soon. The Eagles lodge has bta giving its members a party before leaving since the beginning of the draft, but the next group vlli be the first in which all draftees whether members of the organization or not will be given public recognition. Although the program , is not yet pomplete, tentative plans1 call for a short talk by some prominent Amherstite, numbers by the high school band, and group singing, and prayer. "The main essential to the success of this plan Is the cooperation of the public. A big crowd of Amherst people ought to turn-out to give these boys a real hearty send-off. Unless the public turns out generously the plan will fail," said Hugh McGarvey, president of the Eagles. The final plan for the program will be arranged at a meeting at 8:30 Friday night at which mem bers of the. Amherst Noon Day club, the Rotary and Amherst Business Men's Association will meet with the committee from the Eagles. Amherst School Lead Seal Sale Amherst school was named first among the five leading schools which headed the 1941 Christmas Seal Sale which came" to a close the end of March according to Executive Secretary L. B. Hindman of the Lorain County Tuberculosis and Health Association; ' The Amherst students worked hard on their Seal drive and netted $560.59, surpassing by far the other schools. Every school in the county save one increased the amount of its sale over that of the previous year. Every Parent- , Teacher Association in the county j bought a Christmas Seal Bond. The surrounding schools re-! ported the following contribu tions toward the drive: Avon Lake $365.43; Wellington $291.83; Ridgeville $206.35; and South, Amherst $179.55. f An income is something that always falla a little short of what is needed to cover pynpnwn bell tower pressed its hallowed silhouette into the bluepMhe California skv.

Police, Firemen Are Being Sought Amherst needs more auxiliary firemen and auxiliary police for civilian defense. The auxiliary police have already held one meeting and other meetings are scheduled for each week until the course is completed. The auxiliary firemen are now being organized and their special train ing course will get under way soon. Both auxiliary police and firemen are essential civilian defense workers, and full crews are needed in both organizations. The duties of the auxiliary piilice include the patrol of devested areas, the protection of civilians, guarding of bridges, factories are other key defense places, the prevention of sabotage, and traffic duty. Auxiliary firemen will be given special schooling in extinguishing bomb fires of all kinds, and generally assisting the regularly established fire department.Both these organizations are essential to the proper protection iof life and property In war time, and the manual of instruction that each will be given is the cgular manual issued by Civil ian Jjeicnse neaaquuneis in Washington. Men wishing to join the auxil iary police should contact Chief Earl White, or Patrolmen Ed Mays or Earl Rockwood, all three of whom have taken the course prescribed by the FBI, and will be in charge of the school. Those desiring to become the auxiliary firemen should attend a meeting at the fire department tonight, (Thursday) or contact any offi cer of the department. It was announced this week that the Local Draft Board No. 4 desires to contact at once any of its registrants who wish to volunteer immediately.' Call at the office of the board in Oberlin in person. The Laymen's Fellowship so ciety of the Congregational church will meet Friday evening at 6:30. An Easter Message from El Camino Real By Mrs. F. R. Powers Around the bend in the road the ancient walls of Mission San Gabriel arose in simple majesty, looking rain-swept and golden hearted ln the bright, clean air of the late winter afternoon. To the left the Madre Grapevine stretched Itself and brooded behind locked gates, and a thousand memories whispered together in the silent rooms of the low adobe house that had onct been the dwelling place ot Ramona's mother. Probably no one of the twenty-odd Missions that flower along a twentieth century Camino Real is better known the country over than San Gabriel Archangel. Hemmed In by the empty rau-cousness and selfish unconcefw of modern civilization the ii Mission still clutches to its hefrf,t:Ufi'OaK'',rl Drigm visions oi ine iaeai-mNkni ' -r JiuM riw prompted Its creation; me15TBfjSrju -ii of toil and suffering and pattancti oftimes frayed to a single tliread, Public Send-Off Planned For All army with no public ovation of any kind. The thought of a local public send-off originated with the Amherst Eagles, but all organi- est to leave so far. The exact number was not disclosed by the j Oberlin Draft Board, but notices will be mailed to draft rs soon. The Eagles lodge has bta giving its members a party before leaving since the beginning of the draft, but the next group vlli be the first in which all draftees whether members of the organization or not will be given public recognition. Although the program , is not yet pomplete, tentative plans1 call for a short talk by some prominent Amherstite, numbers by the high school band, and group singing, and prayer. "The main essential to the success of this plan Is the cooperation of the public. A big crowd of Amherst people ought to turn-out to give these boys a real hearty send-off. Unless the public turns out generously the plan will fail," said Hugh McGarvey, president of the Eagles. The final plan for the program will be arranged at a meeting at 8:30 Friday night at which mem bers of the. Amherst Noon Day club, the Rotary and Amherst Business Men's Association will meet with the committee from the Eagles.

The surrounding schools re-! ported the following contribu tions toward the drive: Avon Lake $365.43; Wellington $291.83; Ridgeville $206.35; and South, Amherst $179.55. f An income is something that always falla a little short of what is needed to cover pynpnwn bell tower pressed its hallowed silhouette into the bluepMhe California skv.
